As your guest alluded to, many of the newer generation of adoptees are Chinese. Growing up in a society where the internet is wide open, I wonder it they will encounter difficulties getting past the Great Firewall of China in attempts to track down their birth relatives. (I assume this is not the case for South Korea.)

As a white Canadian, I admit my knowledge of things Korean is somewhat limited. Luckily the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has been running a new comedy TV show this fall called “Kim’s Convenience”. This presents Korean culture from the point of view of first- and second-generation Korean-Canadians, in a low-key and lighthearted manner. I enjoy the show and I’ve learned a few things along the way.

Happy holidays!
